Question marks for the Buckeyes

Chris "Beanie" Wells will not play for Ohio State against Troy this weekend.

Buckeye head coach Jim Tressel announced Wells' status earlier today.

The Heisman-hopeful tailback could also miss his team's first Big Ten game against Minnesota on Sept. 27, as Tressel did not say if he knew when Wells' injured right foot would be ready.

The Buckeyes also don't have a starting quarterback. Tressel has not said whether senior Todd Boeckman or true freshman Terrelle Pryor will start against Troy.

Boeckman started the year for OSU but looked dreadful in a 35-3 defeat to USC last week. He finished 14-for-21 with just 84 yards. Boeckman threw two interceptions.

One of those picks was returned by USC linebacker Ray Maualuga 48 yards for a touchdown.

On the other hand, Pryor was 7-for-9 with 52 yards. Pryor also added 40 yards rushing on 11 carries.
